Exploitable by design: migrant workers in the UK immigration system
Nando Sigona / March 2024
Is the UK immigration system really ‘fairer’ as the government claims? Fairer for whom? In the latest episode of the Conversations with Iris podcast, Nando Sigona discusses these questions with Luke Piper, Head of Immigration at the Work Rights Centre. They dissect the post-Brexit immigration system and highlight how exploitability and disposability of migrant workers are produced at the intersection of the immigration and labour regimes. They also consider the structural factors that contribute to producing vulnerable migrants, impacting not only on migrant workers but also on their families.
